    Met him for 1st time and really enjoyed him

    Dr. McNamee makes discussing an appointment concerning cancer an easy experience, in part by showing you what he is talking about with your test results on the computer screen. He is not intimidating or condescending but rather likes to answer questions, and encourages them. He has a great sense of humor which also helps in coping with the fact that you have had cancer!
